Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s health insurance companies – including those covering individuals and small businesses – to cover annual prostate cancer screenings. It mandates that these screenings be conducted according to the most current, nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines. The guidelines are defined as evidence-based recommendations from independent organizations. The bill was amended to remove any cost-sharing requirements for patients receiving these screenings.
